IN MEMORIAM: Joe Simon

It's being reported that Joe Simon, half of the team that created Captain America and revolutionized the comics industry, has passed away. He was 98 years old.

As of late, he's been working with Titan Books to put out collections of some of his great but lesser known comics in genres that aren't as well represented in comics today as they used to be. The most recent was a collection of his Crime comics. They've been a pleasure to read.

You should also check out his recent autobiography, My Life in Comics. It was a fun read and really delves into his contributions to comics, particularly those that seem largely forgotten in this day and age.

It's always sad to see one of the greats go, and few were greater than Joe Simon. He will be missed.
